You know, you&#39;re right. Obviously, what really would have been best is if Daunte played lights-out and the Lions won! Beating the Steelers would have been HUGE for the franchise, for the fans, for the players, and yeah--for Daunte.<br /><br />I guess the only defense I can fall back on is that I said Sunday was the best &quot;that we could hope for&quot;--meaning, Daunte shredding the Steelers&#39;s defense and the Lions hanging an &quot;L&quot; on the reigning champs was beyond what I would have considered realistic to hope for.<br /><br />Still, though, you&#39;re right--my head wasn&#39;t in the right place on that one. I need to &quot;check myself&quot;, as they say. Or, you know, said. In 1995.<br /><br />Oh, and I&#39;m calling a Lions win, too. I&#39;m already hearing it from Packers fans!<br /><br />Peace<br />TyTyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07228238666916939672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-38251315276533853462009-10-15T09:38:58.991-04:002009-10-15T09:38:58.991-04:00Scotty G--

Backup QB, missing Megatron, lost another CB, no Sammie Hill, dinged-up Silent Bob, facing the STEELERS . . . the Lions were 21 yards (and a 2-pt.) away from taking them to OT. Still boggles my mind.<br /><br />Peace<br />TyTyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07228238666916939672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-39901298618447300572009-10-14T00:27:55.056-04:002009-10-14T00:27:55.056-04:00PS.

The best for the team would have been Dante having an outstanding game. Not because we want him as our qb, but in the hopes of raising his trade value and suckering someone to sacrifice a decent draft pick. Did someone say Dallas? They will need a new backup soon.Scotty Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04388691860092184040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-43378897809503388822009-10-14T00:17:17.789-04:002009-10-14T00:17:17.789-04:00Ty, what&#39;s with the mud covering up the articl...Ty, what&#39;s with the mud covering up the article.

I am proud of what the Lions have done thi season and I expect them to win more games this season. Barring significant injuries we might end around 6-10. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-40131706534989680942009-10-13T15:44:33.640-04:002009-10-13T15:44:33.640-04:00Great write up Ty.

Culpepper brought some sizzle to the table, made a few plays, and is exactly the kind one-game curveball you want to throw at a defense. I think in a similar situation against the Bengals or Cardinals, Culpepper probably gets us a W.<br /><br />If Stafford was (God forbid) to be out for an extended period, I&#39;d want to see either a steadier hand or an &quot;upside guy&quot; in there--but for right now, Culpepper is a perfectly fine backup.<br /><br />Peace<br />TyTyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07228238666916939672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-35362819634416092902009-10-13T10:30:53.222-04:002009-10-13T10:30:53.222-04:00Weston--

I didn&#39;t want Daunte to be flat-out awful; coming away thinking we&#39;d have won if not for him would have been a bitter pill indeed. However, that Matt Stafford really is the starting quarterback because he&#39;s the starting quarterback--and not because of youth or paycheck or girl-approved hair--is comforting news.<br /><br />Peace<br />TyTyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07228238666916939672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-32326648792643810102009-10-12T23:35:26.553-04:002009-10-12T23:35:26.553-04:00Ty-well at least we got the &quot;worthwhile backu...Ty-well at least we got the &quot;worthwhile backup&quot; out of the way. The problem with backups that remain backups, as opposed to a backup that gets to play regularly do to an injury, is lack of reps in practise to be able to play &quot;pinpoint&quot; football in one game. But you need backups and that&#39;s Daunte&#39;s role. On Sunday he played well, until he needed to continue to play very well and did not. You want them to win those &quot;one games&quot; they get into but most do not. Maybe when you get a chance you can take a look at 1 game backups and how they did in that game-especially who they were playing for.<br /><br />Culpepper is the Lions backup-Stafford should start asap. We are down that road and must continue it. I don&#39;t see the rationale for trading Pep unless someone is willing to surrender a good pick for him in the next few days.Pacerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01055132785487258109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-5421051823071092072009-10-12T23:13:37.562-04:002009-10-12T23:13:37.562-04:00I am just really glad even this point into his car...I am just really glad even this point into his career, we can think of Matthew Stafford as a piece of the puzzle we call winning in Detroit instead of treating him as a liability.Weston Corbitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00794523377206180646noreply@blogger.com
